Publisher's Description

The Guidebook is the first student Bible developed especially for mainline and progressive evangelicals, offering a host of exercises and background material that will enable students to understand what is really in the Bible and how to live out its message. Rather than attempting to entertain teens with relevant, hip sidebars that merely serve as distractions, The Guidebook, based on The New Revised Standard Edition currently used in Protestant churches, will help evangelical teenagers engage more deeply with God’s Word and apply it to real life situations. For young students and parents of Bible students seeking a more meaningful way to connect with scripture in their daily lives, The Guidebook is the new standard for today’s youth.

I've been studying the bible for a long time now. I've had all types of study material over that time. However, this book is the best I've ever had by far. I've learned more about each section that I'm studying then ever before. I have even put down my bible and replaced it with this publication. I'd recommend it to anyone that is doing research on the bible and its various stories.

My 15 year old son uses this for a Discipleship bible study and really likes it. The class is primarily for adults and they have commented that it is a cool book. I like that there are little excerpts that deal with a lot of today's issues students face like bullying and sexual temptation and such. It's fabulous!
